The Design Phase

Planning to build your brand new home or renovate an established home? During this exciting time, it’s important to select the right team to be by your side. There’s no need to feel overwhelmed by everything going on. Designing, planning and installing kitchens and cabinetry is not only our passion, it’s what we love doing. Even more than that, we love making our clients happy and realising their kitchen and laundry dreams. But don’t take our word for it, view our testimonials to hear what they have to say about working with us.

Have you been dreaming of building that new kitchen for a while? Is it time for new cabinetry or even a change in the office? Renovations big or small can make the biggest difference to your home or business. Whether renovating the kitchen, laundry or bathroom, we have plenty of ideas to offer. Whether you want to demolish the entire kitchen or just add to your alfresco outdoor area. If you’re unsure where to start, we are here to help!

To get the ball rolling, give us a call or pop into our Berri showroom so that we can have a chat! We will then have a design representative from our team go out for a site visit. During our visit, we will take measurements and develop a real feel and understanding of the space.

Once we have collected measurements of your space and an idea of your desired kitchen, we will produce 3D drawings to you, for your consideration or feedback.

From here, we recommend coming into our office and showroom where we will consult with you on your design, listening carefully to what style you want and explore opportunities to maximise the space that you have. It is also important that your design is compatible with how you function in your kitchen.We will present suggestions of materials, colours and accessories that will not only work around a budget but achieve your ideal kitchen.

We understand to some, this process may be daunting – you may be unsure of colours or even unsure of where to start. That’s why we are here to help – they don’t just call us the experts for nothing! Ensuring the design phase of your kitchen is smooth sailing, we have worked hard to create an amazing showroom that displays a range of options and samples including (but not limited to) paint, laminate, cabinets and features.

Walking through our showroom is a very rare opportunity that not many kitchen and cabinetry companies can provide you with. With the ability to see what you’re buying, your mind is at ease. Knowing you have hand picked your desired coloured cabinets with matching handles, just like you’ve always dreamed of.

For example, while you can trial materials such as door handles, it’s important you’re happy with the fit, colour, shape and size relative to the rest of the textures, colours and tones. We’ve got paint and laminate swatches at the ready to help you visualise your bespoke, one-of-a-kind kitchen. Once mesmerised by our showroom and chosen your materials, we will move into the final design that will be handed to you for final approval.

The next stage of the process is really about ironing out the finer details and establishing a timeline from here. While kitchen installation time can vary, we operate on 2-3 months average time to get it done. With that being said, we like to be super versatile and flexible to work with you around your ideal schedule.

With optional project management service on offer, we can completely orchestrate your kitchen installation, including liaising with and organising the necessary tradesmen. Your new masterpiece will be created by highly skilly craftsmen, using only materials of the highest quality.

Once you have accepted your formal quotation with any revisions or adjustments, we begin next exciting stage – production.  

The Production & Installation Phases

Design approved? The time has come for us to get building and installing your brand new or renovated kitchen! Whether building or renovating your space, we understand how exciting this time is, so at any stage, if you need an update with building schedules, we can be of assistance.

It’s time for us to get working on your project and for you to sit back and relax. Project management will commence, as we coordinate and organise all the essential trades to start coming in and installing your kitchen. From electricians, tilers, plumbers and painters- even the coffee van for our morning fuel. Our project management services mean you don’t lift a finger throughout this process.

Once dates are set, we start work right away in our own Berri factory. Hand crafting and producing your custom kitchen in our local factory. Then moving to your home, where we precisely install your new kitchen.

Once the dust has settled and of course, been vacuumed up, we can proudly present to you your finished dream kitchen. All the planning, material selection, coordination and organisation has led to this; your brand new kitchen. Bespoke, perfectly tailored to you and ready for you and your family to use.

Once we’ve packed up and left you to enjoy your new kitchen, our job isn’t quite done. You know that scene in the Titanic movie when Rose lets go of Jack? Well, we’re not like Rose. We won’t leave you stranded and left to just float away. All of our new kitchens and projects are subject to the Prestige Kitchen & Cabinets warranty. We guarantee high quality and long lasting designed and installed kitchens. We proudly stand by every kitchen we build!
